From introduction: "It’s our pleasure to invite you to the Tenth Annual Local History and Historic Preservation Conference. A decade ago, just under 100 people gathered in Eau Claire to attend the first joint conference, a new format designed to bring together a diverse audience with a common mission: preserving and sharing community history. Today, the Annual Conference is the largest gathering of its kind in the state, drawing well over 300 attendees. The conference offers learning and networking opportunities for professionals and volunteers from local history and preservation groups from across Wisconsin and beyond. We’ve also added new offerings for students. In 2016, you can choose from a schedule of 30 sessions and 12 in-depth workshops, plus enjoy ample opportunities for networking and socializing. The Wisconsin Council for Local History will sponsor the Fifth Annual Town Square, a unique networking event for local groups to share information about their organization’s activities. New this year are a listening session for the proposed Wisconsin History Center on Friday morning and a Leadership Breakfast on Saturday morning. The conference schedule is designed to offer a wide variety of topics relevant to museum professionals, volunteers, students, historic preservation advocacy groups, commission members and staff. This year’s conference will be held in Wisconsin Dells at the Glacier Canyon Conference Center, located at the Wilderness Resort. This location offers many nearby attractions and amenities, plus an opportunity for several Saturday afternoon tours in Wisconsin Dells and nearby Baraboo." Funding was provided in part by a 2016 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (project number WI-16-011, grant number P16AF00211) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
